Given that Europe was talking about banning the app anyway, this strikes me as a you can't fire me I quit situation
Oh no.. anyways
Can't wait
Maybe just turn it off for the good of all humanity, why stop at Europe?
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Man, now I wish the UK never left...
Watching Musk and Twitter destroy each other has been my guilty pleasure for the last couple of months.
Hopefully that will get us another wave of users who have not really used reddit before and want to try something new.
DOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEET
Good riddance, I guess?
That's a bold move Cotton ...
That sounds like a treat, not a threat!
Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, is considering removing the service formerly called Twitter from Europe in response to a new internet platform regulation in the region, news site Insider reported on Wednesday.
Lucky them.
He should do it!
Please do it
Dooo it dooo it
Good riddance.
So apart from paywall, we now have even a singupwall, fck that. Could you please next time just prntscrn whole article? It's matter of 10s..
Musk considers removing X platform from Europe over EU law - Insider Reuters October 19, 20232:36 AM GMT+2Updated 7 hours ago
Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk attends the VivaTech conference in Paris Elon Musk, Chief Executive Officer of SpaceX and Tesla and owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, attends the Viva Technology conference dedicated to innovation and startups at the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre in Paris, France, June 16, 2023. Oct 18 (Reuters) - Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, is considering removing the service formerly called Twitter from Europe in response to a new internet platform regulation in the region, news site Insider reported on Wednesday.
The billionaire has discussed removing the app's availability in the region, or blocking users in the European Union from accessing it, a person familiar with the company told the publication.
The European Union in August adopted the Digital Services Act (DSA), which sets forth rules for preventing the spread of harmful content, banning or limiting certain user-targeting practices, and sharing some internal data with regulators and associated researchers, among other things.
X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Dude thinks he's so important that he can bully others into getting what he wants just by threatening to leave. Here's hoping the EU calls him on it. What do they have to lose? Twitter brings no value to anyone other than Musk these days.
I'm going to view this as a boon to the good people in Europe.
Please do!
Maybe the theory about the Saudis financing Musk to buy Twitter in order to kill it is not too far fetched afterall.
Here's hoping Zuck will do the same! Garbage misinformation platforms, with all around lack of moderation, and value.
Do the stupid self destructive thing Elon, you know you want to.
The DSA would nullify the entire point of buying twitter, forcing him to reveal exactly how he is using the platform to further his goals.
In addition to the liability exemptions, the DSA would introduce a wide-ranging set of new obligations on platforms, including some that aim to disclose to regulators how their algorithms work, while other obligations would create transparency on how decisions to remove content are taken
Bye.
Please do.
Translation; I'm going to throw a temper tantrum because the you're being mean to me after, someone who totally is not me, ruined my plaything that I was, forced to, buy.
Also I am totally wearing clothes, you're just too poor to see them.
